Alexandra Bevill would rather face the turbulent ocean than her parents' enemies, but she never expects that her leap into tempestuous waters will take her to a place even more unbelievable than the exposed truth of her sheltered life. When she awakens to an unknown setting with no recollection of how she got there, she is fundamentally perplexed by the nameless man whose gaze she wakes up to. Her existence turns to a series of ever-changing riddles, leading her down a grueling trail of dark secrets in the hope of tracing their elusive source, and earning her the ire of this aloof man. Consequently, in her dreams-nightly excursions that more often than not take her directly to his bedroom door-an eerie presence lurks behind waking eye, frightening and tempting her with the mystery of the long lost presumptive heir of Noble House. Submerging her deeper into the menacing puzzle of the current Lord Noble's animosity. Rafe Noble, current Lord of the island Grapplings, has chosen to live a solitary life that no man can endure without being claimed by insanity or the inherent nature of the beast that already defines half of his soul. He has no choice but to accept the small human girl who has washed ashore, but he mercilessly snubs her. He is forced, however, to defend his empirical safeguards when she starts to delve into the mystery of setbacks that have cursed the Noble lineage, unearthing the disturbing truth of an underlying revenge.
